Reviews of Battle Creek Campground
Reviewed by Luke Summers on July 8, 2008
(0 out of 0 members found this review useful.)This campground no longer has running water or a toilet (as of July 2007). This is a very rustic campground with only 4 sites, some of which aren't in very good condition either. But, the price (free) is right.
